I just found this. I lean left but I'm no LWA, not by a long shot. I can offer one reason why some liberals in general might avoid or be wary of masculine-looking men: Potential for an abusive personality. I've always been quite wary of very muscular, masculine looking- and -acting men. They're hot, for sure, but I tended to stay away from them when i was younger. I figured out early on that overt masculinity, and esp hyper-masculinity, tended to hide personalities that could be inclined toward partner violence. I knew that didn't mean they WERE prone to abuse, but I learned early on to screen men via masculinity or 'bro' culture', including certain professions, pasttimes, cultures and religions. (About 15 years ago I was on a coffee date with someone and dismayed to hear him say he was into boxing - not watching, doing). My warning bells went off. Then he went on to act like an idiot so it was easy to drop him). I can't speak for LWAs, but I caution *all* women to screen heavily the more-masculine men. Some of them are awesome wonderful people. You just have to be careful.
